Maracaibo, the new strategy game for 1-4 players by Alexander Pfister, is set in the Caribbean during the 17th century. The players try to increase their influence in three nations in four rounds with a play time of 40 minutes per player.

The players sail on a round course through the Caribbean. E.g., you have city tiles where you are able to perform various actions or deliver goods to. One special feature is an implemented quest mode over more and various tiles, which tells the player, who chase after it, a little story.

As a player, you move with your ship around the course, managing it by using cards like in other games from Alexander Pfister.

One of my favorites

Tied with Great Western Trail for best Pfister game.

lots to explore

dig the card combos. this will see more playtime than Great Western Trail.

Great solo or with friends

I am a big fan of this theme, much more so than the American West in GWT, and have not been disappointed in playing Maracaibo. The automa is quite aggressive, which is a good contrast to playing with more laid-back friends. The campaign elements are mainly to keep the game fresh and encourage different approaches to the game - don't expect too much from the story.

I like it better than Great Western Trail

This has a similar set of mechanics to GWT but it's a different game. I love GWT but this one gets the edge cause the card combos are so much fun.

Average

It is a fun game to play. Starts off strong but might run a little too long.

Th new premium market cards add some unique opportunity for collecting end-game spirit points.

Great game for 2 people

Recommend it. Short 20 mins game.

Bidding, Luck, and Timing

This game gives you the thematic feeling of trying to cast the best (or worst) horror film. You'll be engaged every turn by seeing what your opponents are bidding for and choosing at the Horror conventions. A great game for the Halloween season. If your game group consists of 4 players and you're into Reiner Knizia's bidding/auction mechanics then this is definitely a must try for you!

Very fun beginners war game

This is my 2nd game I purchased after getting into the hobby. I play Undaunted with my 11 year old brother and we have an absolute blast everytime we play. We play each scenario as best of 3 and switch sides everytime to decide a winner and move to the next. There's also many many player made scenarios on the forums that we'll definitely do after we finish the base game. Overall, highly recommended.
